Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Parmesan Zucchini
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with olive oil.
  2. Rinse the zucchinis, slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Fold in most of the grated Parmesan cheese, reserving about 2-3 tablespoons for later.
  5. Spread seasoned zucchini in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle reserved Parmesan on top.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cheese is golden and edges are crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve hot.
